"Is Richard Young injured? I don’t recall seeing him play against Georgia. " <<<< would make a great thread title!

 

[DrollTide]

The title should obviously be reduced to R.Y.

He’s seen less and less time and I imagine it’s from a lack of production. I remember him getting trucked trying to pass block vs Wisconsin.

Riley has impressed me. Jam is obviously the RB1 but KR is an explosive change of pace back.

I'd still like to mix in some of the big backs on short yardage and let them plow forward instead of having to use a lot of the trickeration we use on third and short.

I would like to see more of AK Deer

Let's make a call to Sam Pittman to help fix that.

I'm just wondering if his issue right now is pass protection. Jam looked solid at it the other night.

As someone said earlier today, Sam lives on a mountain lake near a casino making $7mm to not coach. I wouldn’t count on anything from Sam but Hunting , fishing and a little Gambling over the next few months .

Richard Young had 4 carries for 3 yards against Wisky. No carries against Georgia.

I would guess pass protection and just learning the position since college play requires more than just toting the rock. And... Ball security. He does seem to potentially be our most dynamic runner in limited action against lesser teams.

Young and Hill just don't seen to be more than average at best. And below average at actually running the ball. Maybe one will pop up, but so far, no signs of that.

I've also noticed the LA transfer has pretty much disappeared.

I’m sure it has something to do with it, but if he is running ya don’t have to worry about pass pro!

 

[Ratal]

I think it is very telling that we have rotations in the OL and defensive back field that is larger than our RB rotation.

 

[sanjosecrimson]

All these posts on Young are legit responses. Its a long season, I think we will see more backs get in the rotation as we get into the thick of the schedule.

Dre Washington rushed 9 times for 36 yards against FSU. Also 5 times for 22 yards against the Warhawks and had 13 yards on 2 rushes, with 1 pass reception against Wisky. Only played on special teams against Georgia.

Playing devils advocate, Justice Haynes looked average behind our OL last season and now is flourishing at Michigan. Our running backs arent getting much help from our OL. Its tough when you're having to get every yard by yourself.

I've been saying this all season. Everyone blames the running backs. But they have to have holes or lanes to run in. Last year, defenses were trying to stop Milroe, but also stopped the running backs in doing so. Not sure what the issue is this year. Blocking schemes?

Yes... the OL is critical and I think blame lands there too.

If Hill or Young blows it up for the latter half of the season, I'd be their biggest fans. So far they haven't done it for whatever reason. We've had anemic running game under DeBoer barring the QB unfortunately.
